Spacing
Spacing refers to the relative print density between the letters of a
font. The character spacing is either fixed or proportional.
Fixed spacing
With fixed character spacing, each letter of a font assumes the
same width and has the same spacing to the adjacent letters. Cour
and LetGot are fonts with fixed spacing.

With proportional character spacing, the spacing depends on the
width of each letter. Helv and TmsRm are examples of fonts with
proportional spacing.
Proportional character spacing
Pitch
The pitch depends on the number of printed characters within a
linear inch. A font with a pitch of 10 cpi prints 10 characters per
horizontal inch (cpi = characters per inch). The pitch can be
specified only for fonts with fixed spacing.
